Women's 800m - Savinova takes it in a fast race

Last year Europe, this year the world. That seemed to be the message Mariya Savinova was sending after her convincing victory in the 800m at the Aspire Dome today.

“I had my tactics, but I didn’t expect such a fast race,” said the 24-year-old Russian, who outmuscled Jenny Meadows of Great Britain over the final 50 metres en route to a 1:58.26 run, the year’s fastest.
